Agora Object: H 333
Inventory Number:   H 333
Title:   Tankard
Description:   Neck divided by triple verticals into panels: on either side of handle, four sets of diminishing triangles with apices meeting at center; at front, a deer to right with head bent back as if reaching for something, perhaps the leaves of a branch. Inside unglazed except for two glaze bands below lip; dot row on upper edge of lip.
Shiny black glaze.
These tankards are difficult to date precisely without context. They probably belong to the end of the LG I period or the beginning of L.G. II. Later, the rim begins to overhand the highest diameter: cf. Coldstream, G.G.P., p. 86.
